Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Hello, 44 year old dad with over 100 pounds to lose. Started low card about 4 weeks ago with minimal results, stumbled on Intermittent Fasting while researching Keto. Started full Keto with IF 2 weeks ago, already dropped 15 pounds and can’t remember feeling this good in a very long time. Hoping to use these forums to meet new people with new ideas and maybe add some new friends for motivation and support.

What is your fasting protocol? Just wondering as I am very interested in it for insulin resistance reasons. I have just jumped in and am starting with 8:16 (eating lunch and dinner) but have yet to go beyond that

I’m doing 16/8. But most days it’s more like 18/6, if I can wait to eat, I do. I am also an insulin resistant diabetic, when I started this I would easily test in the mid 300’s without medication. The first week doing the fast I dropped down to the low 200’s, by week two I was logging mid 100’s, with no medication at all.

DangersDad DangersDad sounds like it really works. Have you read Dr. Jason Fung’s work with fasting? He seems to have much success with treating diabetes through diet and fasting. I have avoided the diabetes diagnosis myself, but was certainly moving towards one.
